grilled cheese
makes 4 servings
Even though my husband is full capable of feeding the children if I step out for the evening, I still feel pangs of guilt as if I am leaving them with no food options. My Mom’s Night Out grilled cheese is a quick dinner I can whip up and one my kids and husband love.
Ok so most people do not need a recipe for grilled cheese. I do however, think you can jazz up any normal grilled cheese and here are some ideas:
- Add meats to the inside of the bread along with the cheese
- Use a panini press or sandwich press to make the grilled cheese extra melty – yes that is a word 🙂
- Toast your bread before so that the bread is extra crunchy
- Cut the bread in diagonals to make perfect “dippers” to go with tomato soup
creamy tomato soup
makes 4-6 servings
- A 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes
- 2 gloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
- In a pot, add 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the crushed garlic to the pan, and then pour in the crushed tomatoes.
- Sprinkle in a teaspoon of sugar. The sugar helps to cut the acidic taste that comes from canned tomato products.
- Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning stirring occasionally.
- Add in the chicken stock and stir to combine. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Add both the Parmesan cheese and heavy cream and stir to combine.
- Finish with more Parmesan to taste and fresh parsley or basil.
